According to a credible source, former UFC Champion Brock Lesnar is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the athlete's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 24/12/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Lesnar for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 47-year-old athlete, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Lesnar so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the athlete have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Webster Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Webster (Brock Lesnar's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the athlete was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#LesnarPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”
— @TomMiller, 23 Dec 2024
“Congrats! Brock has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 23 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Brock Lesnar?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Brock Lesnar?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
